my gay little cat screams and cries if i kick him out of my room he wails and sounds like hes dying and it picks up on my mic and my friends and partners shout “LET HIM IN YOURE KILLING HIM” and i look into his dumb little eyes and know that theres not a single fucking thought behind them
not a thought behind those eyes
i love him. thank you for the serotonin.
OH THERE HE IS FELIX MY BOY
mother approved
i like this version better bc my mom likes the picture ^_^
here’s how they made the brown m&m less fuckable if you weren’t able to notice the changes
Okay but this is exactly what I’m talking about when I say that it’s corporations driving the Culture War. Like, if M&M corporation just redesigned its characters, no one would give a shit. But if M&M corporation announces that it’s redesigning it’s characters *to reflect DIVERSITY* or something like that, then they know that they can count on conservative commentators to performatively lose their shit about Wokeness and how it’s infesting every aspect of the culture and how the communists are trying to trans your M&Ms; and even better than that, they know that they can depend on snarky progressives to make fun of the conservatives for this and say that they want to fuck candy mascots. And so a complete non-story will have legs for days and go viral by playing the tribes against one another.
also, mars (the m&ms company) is currently facing a lawsuit for child slavery/labor violations. they’re intentionally redirecting attention
I feel this is an important addition. He saves so many people on a regular basis that this just keeps happening. And he feels so much for his uncle that the answer is always the same.
…. This hits different when you realise he’s canonically Jewish
Can you please elaborate ? I’m curious as to what it means
You can read a pretty good summary of it here, but as (most likely) Ashkenazi Jews, PP probably follows the minhag (custom) that says “that by naming a newborn child after a deceased loved one, the soul lives on through the child.” (Quoted from the site linked above.) And given how his Uncle Ben died, it just makes it all the more sadder tbh.
another fine distinction is that the soul isn’t thought to be reincarnated, it’s that the memory of the loved one is kept alive and more good deeds in life can be inspired by (and thus partially attributed to) the dead. ‘may their memory be a blessing’–the memory of the deceased is honored, respected, and who they were is retold as inspiration to the next generation.
ben’s memory is a blessing. that’s extremely jewish. spiderman is inspired not just by the shame of his death, but by the moral teachings he’d given peter in life. and his name given to these babies is another part of it: babies named in spiderman’s honor are also very honestly and truly named in his honor, and continue to be blessings to the world.
it’s very joyous, i think. very sweet.
I swear to God I get happy tears every time I see these panels, and the commentary makes it even better
I want to explain something that’s happening on Latin American social media.
There’s a dish called “Rosca de Reyes”, it’s a cake with slices of fruit. Inside of it, they place a small baby shaped figure that represents baby Jesus. This year, in Mexico, people were selling the cake with figures of Baby Yoda instead of the baby Jesus. So, conservative groups are extremely upset about it, and are calling it a direct attack to family values and religion. So now, Baby Yoda is considered a LGBT icon for making furious those conservative, homophobic people.
